Event Abstract:

C3Nano is widely recognized for developing the highest performing (solution coated) transparent conductive film, Activegrid^TM. Activegrid^TM, a patented technology that employs proprietary chemical sintering agent, tradename “Nanoglue^TM”, which fuses metallic nanowires into a nanoscale metallic grid upon coating and drying. These ultra-low haze conductors have been extensively used in touch sensors for rigid and flexible mobile and other electronic devices. To complement Activegrid^TM, C3Nano also developed ActiveguardHC^TM Films. ActiveguardHC^TM is the industry’s highest rated anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint flexible cover films. ActiveguardHC films are highly hydrophobic and oleophobic single-step solution coated hardcoated films, ideally used in flexible devices as the outermost layer, where replacement for the rigid conventional cover glass is required. Incorporation of carefully selected functionalized nanoparticles in the hardcoat solution eliminates the need for a secondary sputtered anti-fingerprint layer on top, while significantly enhancing the scratch resistance of the hardcoated film. This key advantage, coupled with its hardness, flexibility, and compatibility with different plastic substrates sets ActiveguardHC^TM apart from the competition. The properties, advantages, and suitability for current and upcoming flexible device designs will be discussed in more depth in our presentation.
